In the Stands Report by Bookemdano: Just for fun let's take a look at what the 2009 Arizona Wildcats' seven opponents have done so far this season.
Central Michigan has done well since its opening loss to the Wildcats. They own a 5-2 record, including a 29-27 victory over Michigan State and a lopsided 48-0 win over Alcorn State. Northern Arizona, a Week 2 loser to the Wildcats, sport a 5-3 slate, while Iowa, the team that handed Arizona one of its two losses, has a clean 9-0 record with impressive wins over Michigan and Penn State.
The Wildcats' four Pac-10 opponents--Oregon State, Washington, Stanford and UCLA--are a combined 16-16. Oregon State and Stanford are both 5-3, while Washington and UCLA are 3-5 on the season.
So, do you want to know how the Wildcats' final five opponents are doing?
Well, I'll tell you anyway. Washington State is the Pac-10 floor mat with a 1-7 record and the ASU Sun Devils are a mediocre 4-4. As for the other three, that's a different story. Oregon is 7-1,while USC and California are both 6-2. That's a combined 35-21 for the seven Arizona opponents.
Not too bad. But get this, you take away the Cougars and that means the Wildcats' final four opponents are a combined 23-9 as we enter another week of action. Of course, the won-loss records mean very little and it is what happens between the lines on any given Saturday that matters. But it is fun to play with the records and do some comparisons.
Go Wildcats!
